Who: Kilowog and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Till the Shuffle

[Hey, Drift Fleet. It's Kilowog! Who's that? It's the alien in front of the camera right now, stuck in his superhero-esque uniform, a lantern symbol emblazoned on his chest. He's standing in front of one of the beds on the Hospitality deck. Those watching closely might see that the rim of the bed is a bit damaged. He's a heavy guy.]

Alright, poozers. I don't mean ta' gripe but I got a little problem. An' I don't mean this reality show business—that's a whole 'nother hat. [That's what you humans say, right?] I'll get there.

[Though, honestly? He's mostly concerned the paperwork wasn't filled out right. He's more than okay with having a bit of shore leave after what just went down.]

See, I got a more urgent problem. [He turns the camera to show the door. Then his eight foot tall self. Then the door again. It's pretty clear he is both too tall and too wide to fit through it. He turns the camera back to his face and somewhere in that mass, a brow is being lifted.] Get it? Now, I don't really feel like getting stuck today, so I need a bit of help. Not much, not much, don't worry. [He chuckles and it's low and rumbling.] Just some suggestions will be good. Tried bending over but I got stuck sideways. Thought 'bout just breakin' the wall down but—Well. I'm tryin' ta' make a good first impression.

[He smiles, then leans back.] Name's Kilowog, by the way. Green Lantern. Nice ta' meet ya'.

[ACTION]

[Once Kilowog gets freed from the room, he'll be loitering about on deck, mostly playing with different light constructs. They're all bright green and something of an eyesore. The one he favors the most is a foozball table. Wanna play?]

[ A little smirk ]

I hate to make it more confusing, but there's actually a lot of different versions of Earth, too.

[poozers]

[He laughs.]

Bit ahead of you on that one. I'm more confused on why I can't wear socks with my sandals.

[ino]

[ She grimaces ]

I mean ... you could. Just not exactly fashion forward.

[poozers]

Well, how about those shirts, then. The ones with the flowers all over 'em? I liked those.

[Is he talking about Hawaiian shirts? He's talking about Hawaiian shirts.]

[ino]

And the buttons down the front?

[ She looks like she is dreading the answer to that ]

[poozers]

Yeah! [Way too excited about that.] One of the only things that fit me.

[ino]

Oh, boy ...

Well, I guess you don't have to be fashionable to live on Earth, anyways.

[poozers]

Hey. When they make the fashionable stuff fit guys like me, that's when I'll wear it.

[ino]

You just missed our tailor, too. He left a little awhile ago.

Anyways, I'm sure we can find you something nice in your size somewhere in the galaxy.

[poozers]

Well, ya' can't leave it ta' me ta' choose it, apparently. Ya' gonna pick it out for me when we find it?

[ino]

Sure! We can go shopping, it'll be fun.

[poozers]

Sounds like a plan.

[ino]

Perfect!

[ -- oh, and now she's remembering what she was going to ask him. Before he distracted her with socks and sandals. ]

Oh, that's right. I was going to ask you if you knew a Kyle. Kyle Rayner?

[poozers]

Kyle? [He visibly brightens, throwing his arms out.] Course I know Kyle! Just fought with 'im down on Earth! You a pal of his, Ino?

[ino]

Fought with him ... ?

[ Well, at least this confirms that the Green Lanterns he was talking about are the same she knows about ]

Well, it's been a few years -- but yeah. He and, um, what was his name ... John? Were both around for awhile.

[poozers]

Aw, ya' know Johnny too?! Great guy, John. Not sure I saw him in the fight, but Kyle was definitely there. He's doin' good, in case you're wonderin'. Haven't seen John in awhile, but the guy's got a good head on his shoulders. I'm sure he's doin' just as fine.

[ino]

That's good to hear.

[ She does seem relieved; it's always nice to hear that the people she knows are still alive in their respective worlds and doing okay ]

[poozers]

[Aw, that's sweet. She cares. And it's pretty nice to know that John and Kyle have got people all over who care about them. Kilowog's smile is audible.]

Hey, how 'bout this? You write them a letter or an audio log or somethin' an' I'll hand-deliver it ta' them when I get back. Swear on my oath as a Green Lantern.

[ino]

[ Awww. Kilowog! So sweet! ]

That's sweet of you, but -- I don't think they would remember me.

[poozers]

If it was Guy, sure. But Kyle? Guy's got a pretty good memory.

[ino]

Well, generally we found that your memories of being in the last multiverse I was in were erased when you went home, so -- it seems unlikely.

[poozers]

Ah. So that's how it is. [He sobers up some, though it only lasts a minute before his cheer returns.] Well, that's a damn shame. He'd be lucky ta' remember a nice gal like you.

[ino]

[ That gets a little smile ]

That's very sweet of you.

[poozers]

Just tellin' the truth.
